Dietary help for OCD?

[Guest guest]

A friend's daughter (aged 11/12) has been diagnosed with OCD. She has

been having bad panic attacks and my friend says she looks really

washed out with dark circles round her eyes. No-one has mentioned diet

to her at all before now although I think she has recently made an

appointment with a herbalist. I seem to recall dark eye rings (panda

eyes) were related to phenolic foods and sulphur processing (?) but

I'm vague about this.

Can anyone recommend any sites for more useful information and advice?

Is Feingold appropriate? (I tried the Treating Autism site but it's

temporarily unavailable at the moment).

Any advice or suggestions would be very welcome!

Thank you,

L.

My 8y grandson who was lead and mercury toxic at age 3[quick responder

and recovered] still get 3-4 strep infections each year. The ONLY

symptom he gets is OCD. It promptly clears with amoxicilin. That was

one reason I lobbied for the strep testing for my daughter, 23y. She

was the healthiest ever as a young one the couple of times she had

amoxicillin. Her titers came back high[anti-Dnase, strep A]. Throat

cultures for my grandson are negative on the rapid strep and sometimes

positive if it sits in culture long enough.
